It is hitherto thought that liquid water is composed of tetrahedrally coordinated molecules with an asymmetric interaction of the central molecule with neighboring molecules. Kuhne et al., Nat. Commun., 2013, 4, 1450 ...

The microscopic structure of the tryptophan side chain, indole, in an amphiphilic environment has been investigated using a combination of neutron diffraction measurements and simulations in solution. The results show that ...

We use Bayesian inference methods to provide fresh insights into the sub-nanosecond dynamics of glycerol, a prototypical glass-forming liquid. To this end, quasielastic neutron scattering data as a function of temperature ...

The mechanism by which proteins are denatured by urea is still not well understood, especially on the atomic scale where these interactions occur in vivo. In this study, the structure of the peptide GPG has been investigated ...

The determination of special molecular arrangements in disordered phases such as liquids is inherently difficult due to its lack of periodicity, in contrast to the crystalline solids. We have already settled a general ...

We present a detailed study on the liquid structure of hexachloroethane (C2Cl6) within the first shell using the proper Euler-angles convention. Molecular dynamics is used and the van der Waals picture of a liquid is taken ...

The dynamics of the pure compounds and mixed crystals formed between cycloheptanol (cC7-ol) and cyclooctanol (cC8-ol) has been studied by means of broadband dielectric spectroscopy at temperatures near and above the ...

Orientationally disordered (OD) mixed crystals formed between cyanoadamantane (CN-A) and chloroadamantane (Cl-A) have been thermodynamically characterized by means of thermal analysis and X-ray diffraction. The dynamics ...

The thermal conductivity of CBrnCl4-n,(n = 0,1,2) and 2-adamantanone (C10H14O) crystals which exhibit substitutional disorder has been measured for temperatures between 2 K and 150 K. Such temperatures comprise signatures ...

Both structural glasses and disordered crystals are known to exhibit anomalous thermal, vibrational, and acoustic properties at low temperatures or low energies, what is still a matter of lively debate. To shed light on ...

The dynamics of a simple rigid pseudoglobular molecule (2-adamantanone) has been studied by means of dielectric spectroscopy and examined under the constraints imposed by the space group of the crystal structure determined ...

Fisidabo is an educational project aimed at promoting critical thinking among students. Under the framework of this project, and motivated by the ubiquitous qualitative analogy between spacetime warping by massive objects ...

Water is the most important plasticizer of biological and organic hydrophilic materials, which generally exhibit enhanced mechanical softness and molecular mobility upon hydration. The enhancement of the molecular dynamics ...

We investigated the dynamics of confined water in different hydrated cement pastes with minimized contributions of
capillary water. It was found that the water motions are extremely reduced compared to those of bulk water. ...

The transition taking place between two metastable phases in 2-O-adamantane, namely the [Formula: see text] cubic, rotator phase and the lower temperature P21/c, Z = 4 substitutionally disordered crystal is studied by ...
